EPL Discussion 2011-2012

maybe but might be a large gap there.

We will see how good they are this weekend at OT

[johntheclaret]

Early summary of the league, very early I know:

United are awesome and a much better side than last year. They have taken it to a whole new level.

City have got their act together and will match Utd all season. Their movement, passing and structure were sensational yesterday. The only fly in the ointment is Tevez who looked out of place.

Arsenal look very ordinary and were lucky with the goal yesterday. Missing players or not, they just don't have the quality and have gone backwards this year. Could well finish outside the top 4

From what i saw of them last night they will be lucky to make top half let alone top 4. Took an absolute goalkeeping howler to pinch the points against possibly the worst side in the league.

Is it me or did anyone else notice Tevez's body language yesterday. Talk is he is now settled again and wants to stay at City but that's not the impression I got watching yesterday.

His penalty was pathetic and taken like he didn't give a shit. He didn't pass the ball and moaned like a child when it wasn't passed to him.

I could be completely off the mark but I think he is struggling with the fact he is no longer the star of the show. Two years ago he carried City. Now he is only a squad player.

If I was Mancini I would look to move him out on loan before it affects the team

Top post and exactly as i see it, when he was the only City player that was any half decent he looked fantastic and enthusiastic. Now he is not the star of the show and just another player he has turned back into a sulking cry baby. I hope City keep him though, cant wait until he spits the dummy and punches on with Balotelli, City will lose the plot and implode big time. Cant wait

[Bully]

i only saw the penalty miss but i doubt that the rest of the players at city will follow suit in regards to what your saying. If it starts i would expect the manager to keep him out and then yes transfer.

Odemwinge puts West Brom 1-0 up after 2 minutes. Schoolboy defending by Norwich

[johntheclaret]

And has a penalty saved

[johntheclaret]

Norwich have conceded 4 penalties in 4 games now.
16 penalties in the EPL so far this season and only 6 of them scored. Norwich's record is 2 scored against and 2 missed against.

[johntheclaret]

Don't write off the Canaries just yet though as all of their goals have come in the last 10 minutes of play

[johntheclaret]

And WBA have only kept a clean sheet once since Hodgson took over

[johntheclaret]

Final score Norwich 0-1 WBA

Next up Fulham v b4st4rds

If b4st4rds lose it will be their worst start in their history

[johntheclaret]

HT Fulham 1-1 b4st4rds

[johntheclaret]

FT Fulham 1-1 b4st4rds

Worst game I've seen this yer by a million miles
Fulham with 70% possession in the 2nd half but their final ball was poor. They did have to break through an 8 man defence but if this is the standard from both these two then it will a tough year

[Bully]

agreed....very boring. There is soo much difference between the bottom half of the table to the top half.

i am hearing rumours about a certain player being named for being positive for drugs tonight?

A player that moved from the north to another EPL club in last years transfer window... (i wont say the name) dont want to start something if its not true

To be fair to Bully, it would be advisable to wait until it is in the media before naming names. You just never know MH

[Jim05]

Wont name any names yet but if its the same one i heard then the red half of the City would be upset.
Led to believe that the FA has looked into it and even though there was a positive test for Cocaine they havnt taken it any further.
